Protein, Oil, and Restoration with Pongamia
Carmelo Peralta, Paraguay
"Of all the non-food-land crops that produce oil and protein, we found the Pongamia tree to be best positioned for reforestation purposes in South America. We conserve virgin forest areas and secure cattle land for our certified reforestation activities to which we match long term offtake agreements with world-wide corporations, oil refineries, and protein processors.
